Support your local food bank while you write.
Write your book, post on your blog, publish your Substack, finish your homework, go through your paperwork, map out your holiday to-do list, organize your desktop files, compose songs and poetry, write to your congressperson, or do whatever other desk-bound writing task that needs doing.
The right to eat is a basic human right, but right now it feels like a privilege.
And I feel like my donations are tiny drops in the bucket, but maybe together we can help meet the needs of this November? Join one of the Write to Eat retreats and do something that feels good while you’re doing something that feels good.
Price of Admission:
Proof of a donation to your local food bank – any amount
Send a picture or screenshot of your donation receipt to me
(please cover up your personal info)
This way, I can track how much we raise and you can claim it on your taxes.
In exchange, I’ll give you the Zoom room ID.

If you’re not in a position to donate, just let me know.
I’ve been there. I’ll keep it private. You get to be part of this, too.
1. Donate
Select the food bank of your choice and make your donation. Keep your receipt. I’m asking you to make the donation yourself so that you can claim it on your taxes – I am not a nonprofit so doing it through me would remove that benefit from you.
2. Verify
Redact (cover up) your personal info and take a screenshot or photo of your donation receipt. I only want to see it to track whether this event is successful at inspiring donations and to have a grand total to share with everyone.
3. Write
Show up and write. When you verify your donation, let me know which retreat session or sessions you plan to attend. One donation and one payment gets you access to the in-person Tiny Retreat and any or all of the online Mini Retreat sessions. If you join an online Mini Retreat session but you’re all Zoomed out, it’s okay to turn away from the screen. We like to see who we’re writing with, but it’s okay to turn your camera off.
If you would like to support my work:
Bite-sized writing retreats — just in time for Thanksgiving.
If this event is successful, we’ll do it again in December.
Write to Eat is a safe space where mutual respect and belonging are a given. You are welcome and wanted.
